The online Native Studies 30 course is in no way intended to be the end all, and be all, on First Nations issues in Canada. The course is only intended to be a beginning, a small step in the journey to understanding Aboriginal issues in Canada. The course is simply intended to help the student deal with the curriculum objectives set out by Saskatchewan Education, nothing more nothing less.

The Native Studies 30 online course is of particular interest to students of Canadian Studies. It is important that young people in Canada understand First Nations issues, past and present, given the fact that the Aboriginal population of Canada, particularly western Canada, is increasing at a tremendous rate.

In Saskatchewan, it is important that all citizens take an interest in this topic, given the nature of our population shift. It is in the interest of all citizens to understand the injustices done to First Nations of the past. It is in all citizens' interests, Native and Nonnative that the Aboriginal community becomes an economic and socially productive community safe for the youth of tomorrow.
